    Recent ionization methods such as electrospray, ion spray, nanoelectrospray, laser-assisted electrospray/ion spray, explosive vaporization and ionization of liquid beam by infrared laser, massive cluster impact ionization, low-energy ion impact on the van der Waals thin films, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization are discussed taking into account the experimental results obtained in the author's laboratory. Some prospects for the new ionization methods are given.

    Fragmentations of the molecular and fragment ions of methyl stearate, under 70 eV electron ionization (EI) conditions, have been studied by using collision-induced dissociation (CID) and metastable ion decay (MID) techniques. The CID and MID spectra of aged molecular ions Mi quite differed from the EI mass spectrum resulted from the in-source fragmentation of initially produced molecular ions M0 in pattern. The CID spectra of the Mi ion mainly showed peaks of m/z 255, 199, and 143 ions, while CID spectra of these 56-Da periodical fragments showed only a preferential product ion at m/z 101. CID spectra of other fragment ions also indicated that the m/z 101 ion is a terminal product. The structure of the ion at m/z 101 has been discussed.

    A new liquid matrix referred to as DTT/NBA, a 1 : 1 (v/v) mixture of dithiothreitol (DTT) and m-nitrobenzyl alcohol (NBA), has been prepared on the basis of a criterion for the choice of matrix in fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The capability of DTT/NBA was examined by comparing with those of conventional matrices from the points of durability and chemical inertness. The durability of DTT/NBA was more than ten minutes under the irradiation of fast atom beam, and the mass spectral patterns obtained little varied over the irradiation time. The DTT/NBA matrix inhibited from a degradation reaction of O-acyl oximes, while conventional matrices used here brought about a reductive degradation.
